IP-8 Advanced Geometry for InRoads V8i Users

1. IP-8 Advanced Geometry for InRoads V8i Users Thomas Taylor, Bentley Civil

2. InRoads Horizontal and Vertical Geometry • Stored in an .ALG geometry project file • Provides multi-user access via a .LCK lock file • Contains COGO points Horizontal, Vertical and Cant alignments • Organized in a parent child data structure

3. Benefits of InRoads geometry • Stored in a separate file (can have multiple projects loaded) • Works with graphic coordinates as well as geometry point coordinates • Point names are optional (names can be non-numeric) • Geometry locks ease use and eliminate confusion • Select buttons provide quick input without need for key-in

4. ClassicCoordinate Geometry COGO commands • Store, Locate, Traverse • ASCII import via TIW Methods of geometry creation

5. Methods of geometry creation • Conventional PI based alignment creation • Design Criteria based • Design Calculators • Table Editing

6. Methods of geometry creation • Specialized tools for geometry creation • Curve Fitting • Lot Layout, Cul-de-sac commands • One, two, three centered curves • Parallel, join • Copy Geometry

7. Methods of geometry creation • Element based alignment creation • Can be created as discontinuous alignment • Advanced Regression tools • Simplified element tools

8. Geometry review and reporting • Can review geometry directly from the Inroads Explorer • Horizontal review provide alignment, element and curve set view • Geometry points are reviewed via COGO, alignment, and geometry points • Reporting is accessed via XML reporting as well as Report/Results dialog • Design Checks for standards compliance
